Movement and Networks II

Describing networks for analysis

Common measures

• Graph-level: density, diameter, distance

• Component-level: density, distribution

• Node-level: centrality, degree-distribution

Common questions

• What are the shortest paths across the network?

• Where are the most important locations for maintaining the network?

• How does the loss of a node alter the subsequent configuration of the network?

• How do we translate typical movement paths into network structures?
